Generic vs AEM CAI's

So I've been reading up on both of these selections

From what I came up with is, the tube is the same, but what makes it is the filter,

So wouldn't it be the smarter choice to go with a Generic CAI and buy a k and n filter and switch it out?

I'm looking for opinions

Help?

Yes, it would be smarter to just put a good filter on a generic tube. Hell, you could probably even sell the generic filter to a ricer on craigslist.

Re: Generic vs AEM CAI's

Do you know if the k and n or a AEM filter will just thread right on?

Just buy one that matches the diameter of the tube, there's more than one size of conical air filter available.
